Dear Youth Basketball Players, Spectator, and Coaches,
We are looking forward to a great tournament this year with the Rutland Recreation
Department. I am sending you some important information so you know what to expect and to
help things run smoothly.
For this tournament there will be a spectator admission fee, $2.00 for adults and $1.00
for students (grade 3-12) and seniors (65+). We will also be having week long passes available.
All games will be played at the Rutland High School gym located at 22 Stratton Rd. Rutland, VT.
We will also have concessions and T-Shirts for sale. In case that we have questionable
weather conditions please check our website (www.rutlandrec.com)
The games will be played according to the regular season rules. Some other rules for
spectators to follow are:
● Benches are for coaches, bookkeepers, and players in that game only.
● The scorers table is for tournament officials only, if the team bookkeeper prefers to sit at
the table as opposed to the bench that is allowed.
● Only teams that are playing are allowed to shoot at half time, no spectators are allowed
on the court.
● All basketballs must be put away unless being used for warm ups
● The space behind the curtain may be used for team meetings and/or team pictures only.
No others are allowed behind the curtain.
● All cheering from the stands MUST be positive. There is a zero tolerance policy for
disrespectful behavior toward players, coaches and officials. If anyone is displaying rude
or disrespectful behavior they will be asked to leave the gymnasium.
● No unattended children will be allowed to hang out in the lobby area. All children
must be supervised by the adult they came with at all times!
● There is plenty of parking in the parking lot. Parking in the circle is not allowed. This is
an emergency lane only. It can be used to drop off and pick up people but cars can not
be left in the circle.
We hope that you will share in our vision of fun and sportsmanship through the game of
basketball for the kids. If you have any questions please contact me directly.
Best of Luck to all athletes competing in the tournament,
